Hey guys, First off I need to give the devs for Vicious Jelly Bean high praise! I am having an issue with Faux beta 19 1.8Ghz kernel. When I flash it on my verizon nexus my phone reboots normal and actually faster but it only stays on for roughly 30 seconds and then shuts off. I have to remove the battery to restart. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks in advance!!

I overlocked Gnex to 1.8G with r_data's AirKernel, everything is ok except very hot temperature(nearly 80C in 5 min).
I'd flash a new kernel.
It doesn't sound like your GNex can function properly while OC'd that high.
Why is that necessary on this device? I'm actually curious, not being a smartass.
This sounds very dangerous to me..
The omap4460 (cpu in GNex) supports frequencies upto 1.5ghz.
pushing it higher can only cause problems, maybe not short term, but it will deffinatly cripple the lifespan of that cpu.
Not trying to be a smartarse or owt here, just a conserned bystander.

True but the phone probably won't last long enough for that to matter. As for OCing to 1.8Ghz, I've yet to hear a single good reason why. The OMAP4460 is powerful enough at 1.2Ghz.
I think this is one of them 'yeah but mines bigger' situations.

Back a little while ago the G2/Vision thread (before Desire Z was merged) had a thread about overclocking made by a user named Flippy. I followed it for a while because it was getting insanely out of control and awesome. I had used 1.9Ghz as my max oc for a while and It was great. Now I'm on 1.8Ghz again because the 1.9Ghz kernel was removed later on and replaced with the 1.8Ghz update zip. (For some reason doesn't work for me so I had to fastboot it)
So the reason I made this thread is because I would like to have the 2.0Ghz kernel. I know it's possible and has been done already. I've looked into compiling my own but apparently I need linux to compile it and I'm not fond of installing VM's on my old computer that will barely run as it is.
Now I ask of you, if anyone who is kind enough to possibly please compile a 2.0Ghz zimage for me, I would be greatly in your debt and appreciate it much so! I understand that it is my fault if I mess up my device and only I am held responsible.
Thank you in advanced to anyone kind enough to offer their services.

Why do you need to overclock that high? I've used the 1.8Ghz and found that to.be overkill. I'm running at about 1ghz at that seems ample.

Wouldn't that fry your phone without any active cooling system or something? Sounds unnecessarily risky..

You don't need a VM. You need to wipe the garbage off and install linux on the "bare metal".
While it would be *neat* to oc this phone to 2GHz - just because. It would be beyond useless and I can just see some noob burning down their parents house or possibly starting a nuclear war with Russia by accident. Lets not forget your carrier reporting you to the CIA for having a nuclear reactor in your phone.
Look, with no active cooling it's just downright stupid to go that high. However being the genius' that we are I'm sure somebody could devise a method to install a mini fan or some liquid cooling on this phone. But then you may need that nuclear reactor to power all that stuff. Haven't we already set a guiness world record at 1.8GHz on a production phone anyway? Maybe we need to tell them so we can make it in the book
My phone froze at 2Ghz... I went in for 2.2Ghz at first but it froze after a couple seconds

LOL, it didn't make you go back in time or some ****?
The 1.9Ghz kernel caused my phone to crash. 2.0 would burn your phone's processor out. Just use the 1.8Ghz kernel and have the profiles on SetCPU set to the lowest speeds when the display's off.
Your phone may not actually run stable at 2GHz. Mine doesn't run stable past 1.6GHz, and that runs psx4droid *perfectly*, especially with the optimization they've done in the app recently.
Also, even with setCPU profiles, battery drain when you ARE running that high is a beeeotch.
Honestly, it's not really for OCing that high, but rather the look at what I can do I had a friend just ask be how high I can OC my phone and at 1.5GHz he's like woah :O His face at 2GHz would have been like
I previously used Flippy's kernel on my G2 and did OC it to 1.8 GHz, and got a Quadrant score of 3037. It was cool to see how fast my phone could actually get, but I'm more than comfortable with OC'ing it to 1.4 GHz. Anything more than that seems to be unnecessary to me, but that's just my opinion. Last thing I want is to have my G2 melt while it's in the pocket of my pants.

Oh yeah totally forgot that existed. Thank you for the useful response.
tried the module but the phone freezes after doing anything above 1.4ghz
I believe it needs voltage tweaking which I don't know how to go about sooo... yeah

LOL!! Froze? Or more like "fried"!! Hehe
Doesn't it happen to you guys that when running @1.5Ghz u get many FC from some games? Running excessive OC might stop your phone from working.
Why do you need 2Ghz?!

Nope, not for me anyway. I know different HW revisions and such have an effect on how high you can oc but my phone doesn't skip a beat at 1.8GHZ. I'm sure I could go to 2GHZ or a bit higher but unless I'm trying to emulate a PS3, I don't see the purpose - aside from maybe setting a record.

Same. I can do 1.8 all day if I keep near a charger. Anything over 1.3 will drain my battery like a monster though.
I keep at 1.2 regularly and only go higher for games.

I can jog 1.8 and 1.9Ghz for a day without even reaching a dangerous temperature.
Can I get some supportive ideas and less herp derp personal opinions?
Highest Ive pushed mine is 1.5ghz. No need to go any further, Im satisfied with the performance. I get a full days battery life and the temperatures never get critical (my setcpu profile is set to underclock at 38.2 degrees Celcius but my G2 hasn't gotten close to that). Im curious at what stage my G2 would score 3000+ in Quadrant.
You might PM flippy and see if he will customize a kernel for you that goes that high. Let him know you will send a certified letter signed in blood and a video of you stating you release him of all liability for what ever town you destroy when your phone goes nuclear.
Seriously though, I'm willing to be he'll make it for kicks if you ask nicely - btw, call guiness so you can make it into the record books. Also, I'm not sure but if you flash a 'blank' kernel couldn't you just echo the speed and voltage in the 00banner file or whichever one it is?
hey guys, so im trying to figure out if theres something wrong with my gnex possible the hardware. ive been using antutu to benchmark it over the past month and at first i was getting scores of 6900 on aokp and francos kernel, but in the past couple of week ive been getting things like this http://imgur.com/ybWRK
the two numbers that are taking the biggest hit are the cpu and ram. is there any way that flashing roms are kernels could have damaged any physical part of the phone? its also been acting a little sluggish so i know its not all the benchmark. any ideas or advice?
which versions of aokp and franco are you using?
b25 for aokp and 18.2 for franco. im wondering if i might have overheated something? is there an app or some other way to see if the hardware is all running the way it should?
i regularly see temperatures from 120-140 without having anything open and not charging, should i return it and try another one or is this normal? from what ive read this is kind of hot.

I see exactly what the problem is, and it's very common.
Your CPU speed is at 1500 MHz -- obviously overclocked.
What can often happen is the OC creates more heat. This causes thermal CPU throttling, which actually will slow the CPU to below-stock speed.
I reckon that if you were to turn your max CPU speed back to 1350 or 1200 you would probably get higher benchmarks even though the CPU speed is slower.
I have no experience overclocking a mobile device, so I have no knowledge about what is standard/good/bad/safe/unsafe. Basically I want to overclock my Gnex but I don't want to shorten its lifespan. What's a safe amount to overclock to that won't be bad in the long run for my Gnex? (Running Franco M4)

I've personally never found a reason to overclock this phone at all, and that's usually the best for lifetime preservation.
As far as I know recommended maximum speed of CPU is 1,5ghz, so theoretically it is safe to overclock it to this amount. But I don't know if the build of GN for example do not make the CPU heat more what can cause less life time in such speed.

Hate it when people do this.
Q- What's a good gym/pool nearby?
A- In my experience, best to not hit the gym or swim....
Q- Getting a new car, any auggestions?
A- Best not to get one. Take the bus...
I'm running francos latest kernel. I just picked the highest OC on the list (1344mhz). I think the non-stable goes higher.

Non stable goes to 1500mhz.
About the "to overclock or not to overclock" discussion, i'm leaning towards not needed YET. The phone still packs a punch when it comes to gaming and such IMO.
OP says he is noob with these things aswell, so it might be wise to wait a little and get some android experience before jumping on the OC train.
That beeing said. Every cpu is different so one cpu can be clocked to 1500mhz while a different one will fail when beeing clocked to 1300. You just have to try different clock speeds and check if it is stable or not. The cpu have built in throtteling when temperature limits are reached.

I heard there was a problem with stability issues before. Has it been fixed?
Also, do any of you guys feel the need to OC in the first place?

I tried OC'ing to 1,4 for a short time, didnt get any instabilities.
Which leads me to question two. No I don't feel the need to OC this phone, it is still good enough to cope with everything i throw at it.
The worst that will happen is that it will run a little hotter than normal. I was running Trinity Kernel on RasCream ROM clocked at 1.5GHz and it was fine, nothing crashed, no reboots, all was well.
Besides; It's a Nexus, it was built for this!
This varies for everyone

Meh. It all varies. No 2 chipsets are the same. What may work for someone else may not work for you. Trial and error is the only surefire way to find out.
Hi,
I agree with what has been said above, all the CPU's are not equal but actually the progress made by the kernel devs allows all (or almost) phones to run at 1.3* Ghz (1.34/1.35 Ghz, it depends of the kernel) without any issues.I think it's for all, actually I don't remember a user with issues at 1.3* Ghz...
And for most phones 1.5 Ghz is fine.For some others, above 1.5 Ghz is problematic but it depends also of too many factors.
Now it's not like it when the Genx came out, where 1.3 Ghz was the limit of CPU overclock for all the phones.
And many people can run stable at 1.65 Ghz, also it depends of the kernel.
For me for example my max CPU freq usable each day, so stable is 1.72 Ghz with Glados kernel, above (like 1.8 Ghz) it runs fine for 30 mins, sometimes 1 hour, but after always freeze/reboot... maybe my CPU can't reach this CPU freq or maybe my settings are wrong (voltage) ...
I agree, an extreme overclock like 1.72 Ghz is not really necessary for all day (heat, battery life, etc...) but a little overclock like 1.5/1.53 Ghz and you a difference in certain case (openning some apps, general UI, browsing, etc...).
But if we have the ability to test and play...why not... ,in any case for me it's yes, I like overclock and test the possibilities/limits of my phone, different settings...
Everyone does as he wants and it depends on what you want (battery life,a little more power in some situation like playing or a higher bench score ).
Well considering Texas instruments recommended highest clock speed for this processor is 1.5 ghz I'd say your fine. Anything above that is dependent on how well your chip set will handle it. Besides who honestly has needed to OC for anything other than benchmarks?

Are there any danger or downsides to preforming oc ? for example from stock speed to 1.3GHz or even 1.4GHz ?
Because the Arc S runs on 1.4Ghz and the GNex on 1.2 and I was wondering why lol
And it will probably decrease lag..I guess.

Well theorically it could damage your phone. But I've been OC since Dec 2011 on the same nexus and nothing is wrong with it.
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Same here, I over clock to around 1.4 and never had issues. My old Samsung Vibrant I had overclocked to 1.6ghz and it was 1ghz stock. Had it for a year like that.
This is MY phone, MY life and MY business. GNex all the way baby. Hit 'Thanks' if I surprisingly helped you.
Remember every chip is different i remember my old nexus s not tolerating oc however with my gnex i've never actually oc'd for extended periods the highest i've oc'd with long term use would be 1.3, however you should be careful while oc/uv-ing, remember to UNTICK the set on boot option if your using trickster
the only downsides maybe if you oc too much and drain your battery quickly .
there is a temp throttle in most oc enabled kernels, just make sure you leave that on after oc/uv.
and yeah like irizwan mentioned, theoretically it CAN damage your phone, realistically, ive been sitting on 1.5ghz max for over a year now, and it is still good as new.
possibly due ot the fact that i dont play any games on the phone and I only browse the web for short periods through out the day on the phone.......
but yeah, you get the point.....downside? it kills your battery, thats it.
I think OP should tell us what he's trying to achieve here. Lag? Maybe its just your governor that could use a few touches.
